The Project is a New Zealand current affairs show hosted by Jesse Mulligan, Josh Thomson and Kanoa Lloyd with rotating guest panelists. It premiered on 20 February 2017 as a replacement for Story and airs from 7 pm weeknights on Three. The show runs for half an hour from Monday to Thursday and for a full hour on Fridays. It was simulcast on RadioLive, Monday - Thursday, until 5 June 2017.
The show's format was purchased from Roving Enterprises and is the same as that of the Australian version, The Project, which airs on Network Ten. It draws topical and controversial current affairs content as well as comedy from recent news stories.
The first television advertisement for the show was released in early February and promoted the show as "not the same old song and dance". The program launched on 20 February 2017 with guest host Rove McManus and became the number 1 trend on Twitter during its timeslot. Fill-in hosts throughout the first season include Ben Hurley, Peter Helliar, Jeremy Elwood, Rhys Mathewson, and Dai Henwood for Josh Thompson, Jon Bridges, Michael Wesley-Smith and Wallace Chapman for Jesse Mulligan, and Nadine Higgins (née Chalmers-Ross) for Kanoa Lloyd.
On the 5th of June 2017, RadioLive ceased simulcasting The Project.
